Ben Wallace nearly fell under the radar after being arrested last weekend for DUI.
He was arraigned in Bloomfield Township, MI on charges of driving drunk and carrying a concealed weapon.
The Detroit Pistons basketball player was pulled over for reckless driving. He admitted to authorities he just left the club and consumed four beers two hours prior.
After administering a breathalyzer test, police discovered he was over the Michigan legal limit of 0.08 percent at 0.14 percent.
After being scooped up, police searched the vehicle and found an unloaded gun in a backpack not registered to him, but to a family member.
He claimed it was his wife’s.
On Monday the NBA player will stand before Judge Kimberly Small, who previously sentenced former college and professional basketball player Jalen Rose to jail for drunk driving.
Wallace signed a four-year, $60 million deal with the Chicago Bulls in 2006.
From there, Wallace was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers before re-signing with the Pistons as a free agent for a 1-year deal.
Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel issued the sentence after listening to testimony from employees of an alcohol treatment program that Lohan had been ordered to attend.
Lohan missed seven classes since December, which led to the judge’s harsh rebuke moments after the “Mean Girls” star offered a tearful apology.
“I did do everything I was told to do and did the best I could to balance jobs and showing up,” Lohan told the judge. “It wasn’t vacation, it wasn’t some sort of a joke.”
Revel said she found Lohan’s apology insincere, comparing it to “somebody who cheats and thinks it isn’t cheating if she doesn’t get caught.”
Lohan was not immediately taken into custody and will be permitted to surrender on July 20. She will have to wear an ankle alcohol monitor until then.

Ok here is my 2 cents, to the commentary. She should go to jail for one year as stipulated earlier by the judge when he gave her a one year probation. Now she is only going to do 90 days, and it looks like just a fraction of that time. Are you kidding me. What happen to the laws of the land. She is wrong and has been wrong for quite sometime. Granted the young lady has some serious mental issues. Evidently her family and friends are not concern or love her enough to see that she gets the help that is require.
She has been a living train wreck for sometime. Maybe being in jail for a few weeks will make her think about
how serious DUI’s are and her own mental health. At this point it looks like money talks and B.S. walks!
How do you feel about Lindsey Lohan?
